Commons?[edit]
Can we assume that most images tagged with this image should not be moved to Commons because of existing copyrights in the country of publication? --Iamunknown 15:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Rather the opposite. Commons has many images which are PD in their home country but not in the US because of this rule. All attempts to delete those have been resisted. Haukur 16:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it would be the opposite ... somehow I missed the fourth criterion: "it was in the public domain in its home country on January 1, 1996." Does "home country" mean "country of original publication"? --Iamunknown 19:32, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, home country = country of original publication. If a file was in the public domain in the home country on the URAA date, it is usually in the public domain today too, making it eligible for a Commons move. However, one should be careful with copyright restorations in the home country which affect a number of files from France, Russia and other countries. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:50, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- There are some exceptions. For example, Russia retroactively copyrighted a lot of stuff in 2008 that might have been PD in 1996, and would not be suitable for uploading to Commons. -Nard (Hablemonos)(Let's talk) 17:35, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Published?[edit]
What about images that were not provably published until much recently but date to <1923? -- Nbound (talk) 23:00, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Template:PD-US-1996 → Template:PD-URAA — The URAA date is January 1, 1996 for most countries, but certainly not all. Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:40, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Home country vs. source country vs. country of first publication[edit]
The template refers to "home country", "source country", and "country of first publication". Are these the same thing? If not, what's the distinction? Wikiacc (¶) 19:56, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
